Extreme Heat-Induced Hardware Failures in Non-Overclocked Systems

My non-overclocked system is suffering from repeated hardware failures that appear directly linked to extreme heat buildup during normal operation. Despite running at stock speeds and having what I believe is adequate case cooling, components like my GPU and motherboard keep crashing or dying once ambient temperatures or prolonged gaming sessions push thermal levels beyond what seems reasonable for a factory-spec machine.

    Record temperatures during idle, typical use, and gaming sessions to identify overheating patterns.
